Physician, Cancer-Survivor and Patient Advocate Shares His Story | TBDP S3E14 The Black Doctors Podcast

What happens when the Physician becomes the patient? In this episode, Dr. Jamal Dixon shares his story. We start by talking about his pathway to becoming a physician. Dr. Dixon talks about some of the challenges he faced along the way and shares how his practice as an Internal Medicine Physician changed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Dixon transparently shares his incredible story of a surprise diagnosis and how he navigated the healthcare system. He now has a unique perspective and has worked extensively to develop resources for caregivers that are too often forgotten. He does so through his program, The Caregivers Sanctuary. Dr. Dixon is incredibly transparent and shares an incredible amount of insight from which to learn. Have you or a family member been hospitalized? Have you ever wondered what a patient experiences in your care? Have you ever wanted tools to help support patients and their support systems?
